    Same stats but I am 44. Let's do it. Do you have a plan. I have been drinking green smoothies and walking twenty minutes.

    Hi I am 34, 5'6" and want to lose 14lbs. I currently weigh 10st 10. (150lbs)
    I have also signed myself up for a 10k run in May so I don't have any time to waste as I'm a complete beginner!
    I really hope it helps motivate me to lose a stone and get fit . I'm using the zen labs 10k for pink and finding it really useful but hard work. Maybe an idea for you, a fun run?
    I have also extended my morning dog walk, by 10 minutes and I try to keep busy(sweep/wash all floors etc) from the time I get up (5am) till the time I leave for work (8am) in stead of watching tv like I used to.
    Good luck and eat less and move more :)

    Let's do this Ladies!

    I do 60 min of cardio at least 4 times a week and do resistance training 2x a week. I just joined MFP in hopes of keeping track and redefining my diet.

    That's really good! Yes same here, I find during the week quite easy, but at the weekend i tend to fall off the wagon a bit - I blame the husband and kids lol!

    Can I get in on this? I need some more accountability to get to my goal. I started last April and got down to 154 from 185 and then hit a wall in November and put on some holiday fluff. I'm currently sitting at 160. I'm 5'5", 42 years old and my goal is to get another 15lbs off. I started swinging kettle bells last summer, along with trail running with my dog and found that made a huge difference in my shape…but it doesn't take long to lose it once you stop…so I started back up again with the weights….

    I'm 45, 5'4 (135 lbs) and looking to lose about another 10 lbs. Down 10 so far. I signed up for my first 1/2 marathon, in May. I ran 4 miles today, my longest run ever. I hate running.... it would be nice to know that there are others who engage in this stupid activity as well!

    Feel free to add me. I'm less than ten pounds from my original set goal but I think I will add 10 more pounds so I've got about 15 pounds left.
